Four Actors That Could Play Alec

in Alec, Casting

200901231604.jpg

People has posted a set of four actors they think would do well in the role of Alec opposite Jane:

Possessing the ability to numb a victim’s senses, quiet but deadly Alec could be well-played by Tom Felton, who is known as Harry Potter’s foe Draco Malfoy. Some other suggestions? High School Musical’s Lucas Grabeel could follow his serious turn in Milk with an even darker one as the bloodsucker. And French actor Gaspard Ulliel of Hannibal Rising would bring a terrifying pedigree to the character, while Freddie Highmore, who sweetly stole scenes in Willy Wonka and Finding Neverland, could bring out his bad side.

Me? I’m kind of keen on the already sorta-scary and gender neutral waif duo, the Olsen Twins, playing Jane and Alec as mentioned by Keisha in the comments to our previous story about Alec.

    UH!! You Tom Felton Fans! He needs to stick to his own movies! DONT TAKE EDWARDS SPOTLIGHT!!!! Edward is way hotter! Tom Felton doesnt belong in new moon. He belongs in the HP Movies! Leave it at that! Freddie Highmore should be alec besides hes more dakota's age anyway
  • Valerie
    Tom Felton is the best actor here.
    I love him and would love him to be in these films because they are a great opportunity.
    Tom needs the work to be honest too, and he is so good, people everywhere need to realize this! :D
  • can someone just pick an actor to play the role of Alec in the starring of the new movie" New Moon". thats just dumb not choosing an actor to play Alec in new moon. im mad :D

  • Withthewolves
    OMG, I love them all! I always see the kid in the bottom left in the fanmade videos, so he'd do well... but seriously, if any of them get the role they'll be better picks for Alec than Rob is for Edward, and that's all I care about...

    i think maybe jeremy sumpter (little too old) but still baby faced and Annasophia Ross would play great alec and janes. but i totally agree with Dakota Fanning she has a good mood swing on her. but i admit kirstin dunst (interveiw with a vampire) was the absolute best!!!
    im sorry but Robert watshisname is just hideous he sux and its emette and jasper that are the hotties

  • Mrs Emmett Cullen
    I think that Tom Felton for Alec would be OK...and thats about it. I really believe Gapard should play the part of Demetri though because he is a great actor, good looking, and fits in well as a dark character. As for those other guys...NO. I need more options because we need someone who can act, but wont demand tons of attention and take away from Rob, Kristen, and Taylor. I mean thats who the entire plot of New Moon focuses on isnt it?!?!?!?!?! So I vote NO on everyone pictured. As for Dakota Fanning playing Jane I'm all for it. I think she would do great without taking too much away from the others and she would carry it out throughout the series. SO theres my bit!

  • Robert Pattinson's Girl
    ok all i have to say is all these people are WAY too old for alec's part.. alec is supposed to be a child like Jane.. i also dont agree with casting Dakota Fanning as Jane. i just dont see her as playing jane's part.. i have nothing against Dakota but i really just dont think she fits the part. jane needs to look evil and intimidating and even if they did makeup and other things with Dakota to make her look evil, i still just dont see her playing this part. back to alec. they need to pick someone maybe 12 or 13 years old to play alec and these people would NOT fit at all in the least for this part... please new moon ppl find someone better!

    Too OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Freedie Highmore if I have to choose but otherwise they are TOOO OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need a child-like actor. I prefer to say child-like and not child-ish because child-ish actors might cause temper tantrums. lol

    I know in real life he is to old but he looks so much younger than he really is, so I kind of like Elijah Wood. I know he is kind of big name but he has been out of the spot light since Lord of the Rings. He is also a good actor.

    http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2990840576/nm0000704

    Have him shave the beard, and he looks really young. He is also a small guy and has that baby face.

    Tom felton can't act with an english accent, so what makes you think he can act with an american one
    Everyone was making a big deal about vanessa hudgens making it all disney...But lucas grabeel is fine?
    Gaspard Ulliel is way too old to be dakota fannings twin
    So freddie highmore is the best choice, cos he can act and he's only 16
    and perfect to be dakota's twin :)

    Freddie Highmore for the win.
    He's the best actor out of ALL of them. Definitely should get it, besides Alec and Jane are twins are they not? And they are young? How is any of the others going to pull that off.
    Freddie would be the best choice. He is a great actor, and would play wonderfully off of Dakota.

    I thought I heard when they casted Twilight they were looking for new and up coming actors... I mean Peter Facinelli, Billy Burke, and Rob Pattinson were the only ones I had ever seen in anything else...why all of a sudden is it important to get big names. I love these books, I am on my fourth time around reading Eclipse and I would hate it turning these movies into something it's not if it was casted by all the high school musical cast and Fanning-(who is a great actress for a kid). And I am not a kid, or a tween. I am 30 and love the books-------casting a bunch of preteen stars-and I do mean STARS----would honeslty disgust me.....Hell, who would play Heidi, Leah, or Emily--Miley Cryus? Lets keep these movies about the books and the story and not focus on the big names to playing in them...well thats just my opinion at least...I say relative no names all the way around....they don't distract people.

    the first 2 are my personal opinion. freddie is 2 sweet and the other guy is way two old he can only pull of 18 minimum. dakota will do well as jane but if they put some effort in they might find better.

  • s2edward
    i thik Gaspard Ulliel would be a good felix or demitri but definitly not alec, way too old ... alec meant too look look like one of those young quiet kids that never speak up - while jane likes to act scary and shows that enjoys using her gift. out of those actors i dnt think any of them look any good their a better young male actors out there

  • stephanie
    Totaly agree--they are not children--they are "childlike"---plus the book says that Jane was --and I quote--"as tiny as Alice"----as for who should play Alec and Jane--well I really don't care--really they are interesting characters, but not important ones.
  • Annie
    ya know? i don't think any of them should play Alec..... i mean if that is all we have to pick from....Alec was a stick figure with a cool power he doesn't say one word in any of the books....so i think the person who would look best next to dakota, who i really hope pays jane, (and for those who think she is not creepy enough for the part... have you SEEN hide and seek, god the previews for that movie scared the hell out of me!) would be lucas... now don't kill me! i really hate the HSM series but he is not that bad of an actor... that is just my opinion....
  • iLoveGaspardUlleil
    as much as gaspard is mon amour, alec just doesn't fit him. i agree alec is depicted as someone young, and gaspard is just a little too old, though perhaps another volturi? hes dark enough...

    Same here! I'm not saying gasper wouldn't be good but ( he has French accent n he meant to look like jane - like a teenager-) but you want to see the book on screen not sum chopped up version...but I think lucus would be perfect cuz he fits the characters look- doesn't have an accent and won't have to bend down on screen next to jane!
  • Yes
    the first one in the picture would be perfect as alec him and dakota would be perfect for New Moon!
  • Nicky
    I DON'T WANT HSM ANYWHERE NEAR NEW MOON OR THE OTHER MOVIES. THIS IS A SERIOUS, DEEP, THOUGHTFUL MOVIE (UNLIKE THE LAMENESS OF HSM) NOT A JAZZY, DANCING NUMBER. FIRST THERE'S VANESSA HUGDENS AND THEN THAT BLOND GUY. WTH IS WRONG WITH SUMMIT, ARE THEY LISTENING TO THEIR DAUGHTERS ABOUT THE CASTING? I DON'T LIKE DAKOTA AS JANE BUT SHE'S BETTER THAN HSM PEOPLE ANYDAY! GRRRRR -_-
  • lila567
    I think Gaspard Ulliel looks way too old compared to how I pictured Alec...plus he is supposed to be Jane's twin and if they pick Dakota Fanning for Jane...Gaspard looks nothing like her. I think Tom Felton could have been good but he is too well known now for Harry Potter, and the movies have too many of the same fans. I like Lucas Grabeel the best I think, he looks similar enough to Dakota Fanning but also looks as if his appearance would do the part justice on his own.
  • ally cullen<33
    when i read the book new moon, i pictured alec as a small boy just like his sister jane. so with these four choices id have to say freddie highmore. although that wouldnt be my first choice, he fits it best in this situation. pus, hes mega adorable. but tom, lucas, and gaspard are way to old and already to big for the role. if this movie was being filmed when the first or second harry potter was being filmed, tom wouldve fit, but not now. well thats my assessment. :D

    I think that their best bet would be to go with unknown...that's part of what made the 1st one big and that is also how unknown actors/actresses get discovered!
  • Twilight Saga Lover
    I just hope that they DO NOT pick Freddie Highmore! He is DEFINITELY not right for the series at ALL! In my opinion anyway
  • I love Tom Felton, love Gaspard, like Lucas, and Freddie is a cutie. However, none of them are right FOR THE ROLE!!! From the way I understood the books, Jane and Alec were early teens, meaning either twelve [not quite a teen] or between the ages of thirteen and fourteen. In my head that is considered - young teen. All of those actors, are wonderful on their own, but I DO NOT SEE HOW ITS POSSIBLE for any of the actors who are in their twenties to portray a person who is supposedly between the ages of 12-14. Dakota Fanning may just be Jane, I hate to admit that fact because I am strongly for Jodelle Ferland who is around 13. Freddie Highmore is the only one listed there that could possibly pull off the correct age. As for acting ability I doubt that he could be dark enough to play the role, but I am willing to be surprised. PLEASE DONT SCREW THIS UP SUMMIT! Jane and Alec are two of my favs in the books!
  • Kereyy
    I imagined Gaspard as Edward throughout the 4 books (and before it was even announced that it was going to be a film), so i've always just thought of him as Edward. Seeing him as Alec would be a little weird.
    Personally, I think whoever casting producers pick will be good. Everyone will deal with it and warm up to the person eventually.

    i think tom felton! or that kid from willy wonka but i don't think any of the others will work - lucas grabeel is from hsm, for starters, and that other guy is too old!
  • Drew
    FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT DRACO MALFOY FROM HARRY POTTER, YOU MAY AS WELL NOT CRITISIZE THOSE WHO WANT VANESSA HUDGENS AS LEAH.

    I hate the idea of both of them involved in this saga, this tom felton made his mark in potter, and hudgens in HSM, they have no place in a movie for an older crowd. Oh, but I can hear the remarks back already "I am twelve and I love the idea of both them in New moon, and this saga is meant for tweens and children as well". For the first part of that imagined response I say HAHAHAHAHAHA, clearly your taste in quality actors is weak, next i bet you will say I loved Gigli with affleck and JLO. To the second part, that this saga is to be enjoyed by children, I say chances are you didnt understand what was really happening in the honeymoon in Breaking Dawn. If you did understand, I cant see how you feel that those actions are appropriate for those young readers. To those wishing actors look EXACTLY like they were described in the books and have the script follow tightly to the script. I say enjoy the likely poor acting abilities of that person who looks JUST like that described person. I want some real acting for these characters, not some two bit disney production. To those very young readers either be disappointed the script does not stay close in breaking dawn, or have your parents refuse admission for you to see Breaking Dawn because that book is definitely for a maturer reader.

  • Iced Heart
    I agree with GASPARD
    I think Gaspard Ulliel would be perfect to job! ^^
  • mickey
    isnt alec supposed to be like 13 or something like that? so the only one that would remotely fit as him is freddie highmore.

    but i still loooooooooove you, tom felton!

  • KK
    I can't picture any of these actors in the role. But maybe they are good, idk. Maybe the french actor would fit?
  • Nicky
    And if you removed all of Gaspard's facial hair, he is quite young looking, maybe 17 at the most.
  • Nicky
    I think Gaspard (who I absolutely adored in A Very Long Engagement) or Tom Felton would be ideal for the roles. That dude from Willy Wonka - AAAAH! Vampires are supposed to be beautiful!

    I agree, if they have the wrong hair colour or aren't tall enough, that's fine.
    Would you rather a good actor/actress that looked a little different or a crappy actor/actress that looked exactly right? I know my choice :)
  • Nicky
    I do agree with you there :D
  • BetOnAlice
    Of these 4 choices I lean to Lucas Grabeel. He looks the youngest and if Fanning plays Jane you atleast want an actor that looks like he is in your family . Granted fraternal twins usually don't look alike but there usually is some resemblance here.....or......there. My hook, line, and sinker is not in the water yet on this one. I want a good fishing hole, cause there is alot of catchable fish out there. :))
  • Nicky
    Totally agree with you and Drew!
  • Nicky

  • all too old.
  • Jacqui
    Gaspard Ulliel looks like what I would imagine to be a blood-sucking evil vampire. Although he doesnt suit the description of Alec.

    Alec is said to look 'Nearly identical to Jane with darker hair and thinner lips.

    Lucas Grabeel would be more likely to suit this. Alec is part of the Volturi which resides in Voletta, Italy. I dont know for sure if Lucas would be able to pull off an Italian accent.
  • morgs
    yea i agree with cheddarcheese the boy in the bottom left is the right actor for alec because he dosent look to old there meant to look like kids
  • DramaFreak
    Freddie is the only one I see as young enough to play Alec. Normally, I'd be all for Tom Felton, but he's just too old for the part. :(
  • the kid on the bottom left seems the best. people dont grasp that alec and jane are SMALL. not tall like these other actors. and um olsen twins? Hahahahahaha no.
  • Drew
    Lastly, Alec and Jane are not children, or tweens for that matter. READ the books people, Volturi law stipulates that no child is to be turned to a vampire, as they do not have the mental capacity to perserve secrecy of the society, and are overly consumed in their thirst to rationalize how to safely feed. Hence the plot of Breaking Dawn with Renesme. Jane and Alec are to be around the same age as edward and Bella, Late teenagers, but have a baby face that gives them an appearance of childhood.

    Now anyone who actually saw Hannibal Rising can agree that Gaspard has that youthful apearance of a late teen. He has the acting chops, along with that devilish smile that would be perfect for a vampire intent on inflicting his ability on others.
  • Nicky
    I seem to be agreeing with you alot. That is actually true (about Jane & Alec not being children) they look younger but they really aren't and in a movie with Gaspard, he looked no older than about 16 and that movie was that old.
  • Drew
    Why are so many of you so strict on wanting these characters to be as close to the books as possible. The first film already deviated from the book on descriptions. READ Twilight with a fine tooth comb on how they describe each character. Laurent, in the book, is not an African American, they just describe him as dark haired. Rosalie is changed as well, along with Jasper.

    The important thing is concentrating on the acting chops these people have, and the chemistry they form between eachother. We already know Bella and Edward have the chemistry, but can Alec and Jane get the right sibling chemistry. Lastly the book centers around Bella and Edward, if the films brings in these mega actors just to attract more audiences (which based on the popularity of the books and last movie it is not really needed to attract more). Budgets will be blown on increased actor salaries rather than properly placed on the production. Than these mega actors will demand more air time and eventually it turns into Oceans 13, where so many mega stars demand the increased air time centered on them, and the story suffers because of these mega actors greed to stay in the limelight.

    I agree, if they have the wrong hair colour or aren't tall enough, that's fine.
    Would you rather a good actor/actress that looked a little different or a crappy actor/actress that looked exactly right? I know my choice :)
  • TwiHard
    i dont really like any of them, but Gaspard i think, would make a good vampire. but hes not right for twilight.
    and HELL NO he shouldnt have been edward, thats a joke.
  • TaylorLautnerLover
    theyre all too old.
  • kdwhitley
    I like all of the choices but the kids who played in willy wonka... idk i dont think he fits into the "world of magic" if you know wat I mean. I am afraid the guy who plays in harry potter wont have time to do twilight too. Alec is not there long yes but they are still filming harry potter. Idk when you look at the picture the guy from HSM fits. he has that baby face... they are supposed to be child like and if he is to tall thats ok... they make people different sizes all the time... i mean look at harry potter and lord of the rings and the list can continue... I am excited for Dakota though... at first I didnt think it fit but I am rereading new moon and went to read her description and it sounds perfect... i am super excited i cant wait to see who the other actors are...
  • kdwhitley
    i also think that when they pick caius, marcos and aro they need to look at some of the older men who played in the underworld movie.. though they are a little different than the twilight vampires they fit the look already.
  • BetOnAlice
    Of these 4 choices I lean to Lucas Grabeel. He looks the youngest and if Fanning plays Jane you atleast want an actor that looks like he is in your family . Granted fraternal twins usually don't look alike but there usually is some resemblance here.....or......there. My hook, line, and sinker is not in the water yet on this one. I want a good fishing hole, cause there is alot of catchable fish out there. :))
  • xorobpattinsonxo
    umm now none of these guys could pass for me. they need younger actors and i dont want dakota fanning as JANE grr. w.e i'll deal if she does but thats just my opinion.
  • missadrian
    i think Tom Felton should play Caius, hands down. even though he looks nothing like caius should be, but he plays the total evil perfect.
  • mxtina018
    gaspard is nice to if he only portrays his role well in new moon "if ever he will be in".. thats all
  • jacobbella88
    hmm as long as he is cute and young its all good =] and of course he has to be like the book discribes him! =]
  • Rae_is_Switzerland
    all too old.
  • Jacqui
    Gaspard Ulliel looks like what I would imagine to be a blood-sucking evil vampire. Although he doesnt suit the description of Alec.


    Alec is said to look 'Nearly identical to Jane with darker hair and thinner lips.



    Lucas Grabeel would be more likely to suit this. Alec is part of the Volturi which resides in Voletta, Italy. I dont know for sure if Lucas would be able to pull off an Italian accent.
  • morgs
    yea i agree with cheddarcheese the boy in the bottom left is the right actor for alec because he dosent look to old there meant to look like kids
  • gaspard is great but not for alec. he is too much like an edward and he looks to old....i picture him as almost child like and IF dakota fanning gets to play jane, Freddie Highmore will be good cause they ARE supposed to be twins and he would look good next to her. as in his acting abilities, i think he did well in charlie and the chocolate factory.
  • DramaFreak
    Freddie is the only one I see as young enough to play Alec. Normally, I'd be all for Tom Felton, but he's just too old for the part. :(
  • EdwardJacobLover
    gasprad the hottie shouldve been our edward
  • Nicky
    I do agree with you there :D
  • kristenISbella
    um...NO!
  • the kid on the bottom left seems the best. people dont grasp that alec and jane are SMALL. not tall like these other actors. and um olsen twins? Hahahahahaha no.
  • Newest_Cullen
    tom felton if they officially cast dakota fanning or freddie highmore if they choose a brunnette.
    we already know tom felton can be evil and freddie has the whole evil vide goin on without even trying. both seem perfect for the part.
  • Drew
    Lastly, Alec and Jane are not children, or tweens for that matter. READ the books people, Volturi law stipulates that no child is to be turned to a vampire, as they do not have the mental capacity to perserve secrecy of the society, and are overly consumed in their thirst to rationalize how to safely feed. Hence the plot of Breaking Dawn with Renesme. Jane and Alec are to be around the same age as edward and Bella, Late teenagers, but have a baby face that gives them an appearance of childhood.


    Now anyone who actually saw Hannibal Rising can agree that Gaspard has that youthful apearance of a late teen. He has the acting chops, along with that devilish smile that would be perfect for a vampire intent on inflicting his ability on others.
  • bree
    gaspard ulliel and tom felton should not be in the twilight saga...gaspard was too connected with playing edward cullen....and tom felton is too related to the harry potter series as malfoy..more than rpatz!! since dakota is a well known actress...maybe a unknown dakota look-alike should be alec!!! that just my opinion...there is too much big names connected to this project anyways!!
  • Twilight Saga Lover
    I think that their best bet would be to go with unknown...that's part of what made the 1st one big and that is also how unknown actors/actresses get discovered!
  • Drew
    Why are so many of you so strict on wanting these characters to be as close to the books as possible. The first film already deviated from the book on descriptions. READ Twilight with a fine tooth comb on how they describe each character. Laurent, in the book, is not an African American, they just describe him as dark haired. Rosalie is changed as well, along with Jasper.


    The important thing is concentrating on the acting chops these people have, and the chemistry they form between eachother.

  • AA
    LUCAS GABREEL would be perfect next to Dakota Fanning. He'd be such a good Alec!!!!
  • kristenISbella
    I have to agree, either him or tom, the other two just don't look right.
  • samantha<3
    Same here! I'm not saying gasper wouldn't be good but ( he has French accent n he meant to look like jane - like a teenager-) but you want to see the book on screen not sum chopped up version...but I think lucus would be perfect cuz he fits the characters look- doesn't have an accent and won't have to bend down on screen next to jane!
  • TwiHard
    i dont really like any of them, but Gaspard i think, would make a good vampire. but hes not right for twilight.
    and HELL NO he shouldnt have been edward, thats a joke.

  • Jessica
    I agree with merissa they should choose Tom Felton!!! I am also a huge fan of Harry Potter!! The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is coming out on July 16, 2009!!! I Can't Wait!!! But, yeah he would do a wonderful job and he already has a lot of experience playing someone who likes to cause misery!!After all he has been Draco Malfoy for all the Harry Potter movies!!
  • xorobpattinsonxo

  • kristenISbella
    um...NO!
  • Kris
    Tom Felton looks like an old man. There is no way he should be allowed to play Alec. Freddie Highmore is the best choice out of these four, but Lucas Grabeel would work too. The french guy looks too old.
  • missadrian
    i think Tom Felton should play Caius, hands down. even though he looks nothing like caius should be, but he plays the total evil perfect.
  • ummmmm i dont really like any of them but i would say whoever it is i will be fine with it as long as they r good and just to say the last guy on the right is really hot but he dosent look like dakota fanning but just to say he is really good looking a little to old though he might be a good demitri though but whatever as long as they r good im ok with it
  • mxtina018
    gaspard is nice to if he only portrays his role well in new moon "if ever he will be in".. thats all
  • Rupinder
    i agree with DREW, about Gaspard Ulliel being a good choice esp after his darkness from the hannibal movie, but also agree with about how his accent may cause conflictions, if it wasnt american the only decent alternative would be italian.
    but i also agree with RANDOM READER, is dokata gets casted as jane, alec needs to be younger playing her brother and all.

    Also about the casting I hope they reframe from the hollywoodisation, one main reason why Twilight was so special was because the unknowns helped audiences focus on the characters rather than getting hyped up from stars attched to it.
  • edwardbella88
    hmm as long as he is cute and young its all good =] and of course he has to be like the book discribes him! =]
  • Tiana
    i really think that Lucas Grabeel would play an awesome alex....if you think about it...it does depend on who yer jane is going too be becuz they do look like twins.
    but i think Lucas Grabeel all the way...with a beard...cuz without he loooks to nice.lol.
  • Twilight Saga Lover
    I just hope that they DO NOT pick Freddie Highmore! He is DEFINITELY not right for the series at ALL! In my opinion anyway
  • kristenISbella
    I have to agree, either him or tom, the other two just don't look right.
  • annasvea
    i think the kid on the top right would be good next to dakota fanning if she takes the part...
  • XOXOtania
    nope sorry they are all a little too old, there are better young male actors out there.
  • BAM6AM88 -- Kristen is love :)
    yeah i agree, they all seem a little too old
  • gaspard is great but not for alec. he is too much like an edward and he looks to old....i picture him as almost child like and IF dakota fanning gets to play jane, Freddie Highmore will be good cause they ARE supposed to be twins and he would look good next to her. as in his acting abilities, i think he did well in charlie and the chocolate factory.

  • random reader.
    Gaspard Ulliel was the original Edward wasn't he? Or at least who a lot of people wanted to play Edward. I like the younger guys, I don't really care who. Just keep them young, around 15 like Dakota. If she gets the part of Jane.
  • lucia
    well i like the idea of gaspard ulliel as alec but i agree that he should be kept around 15 like dekota other wise they arent going to look like twins at all they rnt the same age range
  • Drew
    Gaspard Ulliel from Hannibal Rising has a real possibility to how I pictured Alec. THe others are either too tall, or not built enough. Some appear skinny and I pictured Alec as built but not to the point of Felix or Demetri. The only concern is Gaspard's french accent. Though Stephanie Meyer does not tell which nationality he originates. Alec does currently reside in Italy, the Volturi search the world for Vampires with those abilities they could use. I just pictures Alec as being american.
  • Yeaahhh
    I agree. Gaspard Ulliel would be perfect if he did the same hairstyle in this article as in the movie!
  • Nicky
    Totally agree with you and Drew!
  • Heather
    alec is not supposed to be built. he, like jane, still has his childish looks. they are supposed to be children to young adults.
